I've been using Kermit 3.82 now for about 1 hour, and have noticed some
problems....
1) the common VT-100 emulator bug of the 80th column (is occurring - it wasn't
before - 3.81 seemed to do it on input & output, 3.82 only on output - I'm
using EVE, and all my lines longer than 80 columns have an extra <CR> after
them, although when I am typing the text doesn't wrap to the next line
except on the line directly above the window bottom)
2) Kermit 3.80 had a character substitution which was a RUB (checked cursor),
which was wonderful as a wall on Larn (System V UNIX Larn)...now, when I
play, I get nothing...no RUB, no funky character, nothing...this makes it
hard to navigate the mazes, etc...please add this back in...:-)
On other Kermit questions...
Could someone tell me a possible reason why C-Kermit on a AT&T 3b1 (sysV)
could not open a file while in server mode to Kermit-65? I would put it in
Server mode, and SENDa file to it (this also applies to typing receive and
jumping back to the Apple and typing SEND file.) I got a REMOTE MESSAGE:
Could Not Open File message on the screen...
Re: What I like about DOS 3.3 and ProDOS...
Likes: DOS 3.3 - MONICO (I like to be able to monitor my EXEC files, etc...)
filenames - I HATE 15 character limits and restricted chars
simplicity - could be understood in a few days, and worked on
size - DOS 3.3 fits in ANYTHING...
ProDOS - Universal accessability of ANY filetype
Hirarchical file system
Complete catalog info
Dislikes:DOS 3.3- speed (fixed by any number of take-offs)
Disk size limit
set filetype (only if you couldn't edit a sector)
unavailability of file info other than size
ProDOS - speed (not yet fixed)
complexity (have to load this, that, and the other thing to
work with it, and can't find manuals to understand it all)
tendency to crash easily - ProDOS seems to wimp out quickly
Filename limitations
size - ProDOS with BASIC.SYSTEM installed is FAR too large for
my tastes
ProDOS 16 shows some promise, but only if they get it on the market soon...
